Presto Pasta Night Roundup #20

It's been quite a week for our illustrious Presto Pasta Night chefs. Most have experienced very hot weather (not here in Halifax, of course) and there's quite the collection of simple to make, little heat required pasta dishes to enjoy - lots with fresh tomatoes! There are others experiencing "grey days" too, so you'll also find some comforting options as well. And on with the twentieth show.........

Somehow I missed Katiez of Thyme for Cooking, one of my favorite food bloggers. I can't believe I did that! Katiez I am soooooo sorry and such a delicious dish too...Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad which I will definitely be doing soon. The least I can do is put it first on the list this week.

First time PPNer Elizabeth of Invite the Party shares this awesome simple summer dish for all of you with tomatoes in your garden and the rest of us who have to buy them...Simple Summer Fresh Tomato Sauce (no cooking involved). She doesn't have photo, but you can imagine the brilliant red with sprinkles of green and know it will be wonderful.

Abby of Eat the Right Stuff has also been so busy studying (great good luck !!!) that she hasn't really had much time to cook or play with her blogging friends. We've missed her and her delightful dishes. This time she shares another variation of tomato sauce - Linguine with Cherry Tomatoes that takes no time at all.

So anyone out there with a pasta dish, I will continue to add submissions until Saturday . After that, I will add them to next week's PPN Event. So don't forget to join in with the rest of us Presto Pasta Nighters. It's easy and fun. Remember that ALL noodles dishes count as pasta and "presto" (ready) or "lento" (slow) are perfect. Find out how right here. In the meantime... Happy Pasta Eating!!!

I'm new to your blog but I love the roundup! Pasta is one of the best foods in the world....so easy yet so filling! I recently posted on my blog with an "ode to pasta and meat sauce." Check it out if you've got a minute: http://chewonthatblog.com/?p=161
